An Open Letter To The Commandant Regarding the “Alcohol Policy” -- Bring the heat, bring the Stupid

General Amos,

You are the senior Marine in our beloved Corps, holding a position entrusted to just 34 other men over the glorious history of our Sea Service. You are not the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, or of the Army. Nor are you Chief of Naval Operations. You are the Commandant of the Marine Corps.

This is definitely not your dad's U.S. Marine Corps.
